Diagnosis of Delay Defects Using Statistical Timing Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we study the problem of delay defect diagnosis based on statistical timing models. We propose a diagnosis algorithm that can effectively utilize statistical timing information based upon single defect assumption. We evaluate its performance and its applicability to single as well as multiple defect scenarios via statistical defect injection and simulation. With a statistical timing analysis framework developed in the past, we demonstrate the new concept in statistical delay defect diagnosis, and discuss experimental results using benchmark circuits.

Enhancing Diagnosis Resolution For Delay Defects Based Upon Statistical Timing and Statistical Fault Models
In this paper, we propose a new methodology for diagnosis of delay defects in the deep sub-micron domain. The key difference between our diagnosis framework and other traditional diagnosis methods lies in our assumptions of the statistical circuit timing and statistical delay fault size. Due to the statistical nature of the problem, achieving 100% diagnosis resolution cannot be guaranteed. To e...
متن کاملUsing static timing analysis and verification engines to generate native-mode tests for small delay defects
With shrinking process technologies, small delay defects are becoming more prominent. Therefore, there is a need to test processors for such defects. However, structural tests for delay defects may lead to considerable yield loss. Moreover, prevalent fault models for delay defects are not efficient in terms of either representing the defects adequately or in the effort required to achieve good ...
